Chapter 97.

Looking at me who suddenly stopped talking, the Crown Prince narrowed his eyes.

What a ghost!

I, who dropped the bomb on the weapon store, had planned to close the door after returning to work after the hunting convention. However, the guy who woke up faster than expected embarrassed me greatly.

A cold sweat broke out straight down my neck. I managed to answer without trembling.

“… I testified.”

“Tough, huh.” Fortunately, the Crown Prince understands my tiredness.

“In retrospect, the male daughter was very active in this hunting competition. The crown prince deserves to be rewarded for his merits.”

“That …… ends here ……”

“What do you want?”

“Nothing.” Definitely nothing.

I panicked and refused. Everything was directed by the system. What’s more, for the sake of being able to hear such a voice in the future, would this guy make such a voice so easily?

But the crown prince rebuked me for my knife-like refusal.

“No, there’s at least one thing you want to get.”

“So it’s because you’re mesmerized by my hair.”

“Sh? “…? What a strange thing to say.

Although that thought had crossed my mind, hearing what that guy said behind my back, it immediately came back to me.

“Do you want gold?”

“Gold… ?”

Those words made it sound good. But I’m now an ekat princess in the empire. Not a poor and dirty college freshman who is struggling to survive. Plus, I can’t even spend the game currency when I go back anyway, so even if I bring a lot of it, it’s useless.

“No need.” I refused.

“Say it again for you before you change your mind.”

Probably in a bad mood from the successive refusals, the Crown Prince let out a grim voice.

“Of course… There’s one thing I’d like to ask of you.”

I agonized for a moment, then quietly voiced what I had been worrying about. Callisto raised his head.

“What?”

“Be sure to promise me. Be sure to give me that, not knowing how much it scares me! ”

“What is that marvelous request, then tell me.

He lay back, pouting his chin arrogantly.

“If I wasn’t required to take off my neck immediately, I’d say yes. But taking some time is doable.”

Hating the idea with a passion, I offered my wish.

“If you hear anything later, you don’t want to kill me.”

“What?”

I told him not to kill me no matter what happens.” If you want to reward me, give me this.”

“Huh?”

People are seriously begging you, but you’re faking a smile.

The crown prince asked with a frustrated look on his face.

“You think I’m a bloodthirsty murderer?

Isn’t that so? As much as I wanted to say it, I couldn’t do that when I saw the Crown Prince’s dry, wide-eyed fellow.

…. Why are you asking without even thinking about it.

Taking advantage of the dissatisfaction in his heart, that guy moved his eyebrows again and asked.

“Wouldn’t the normal ladies ask the palace to entertain them again, or ask for the emperor’s jewels? Why are you different from the other ladies, only picking those useless ones to do?”

“You have a previous record.” With a cold glare, the Crown Prince’s mouth closed.

Looking at his face as he contemplated for a moment.

Thinking, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

“Did something in court while I was asleep, but this time it’s completely shut up. Maybe…”

Hey, I managed to gulp. Creepily, it was like an animal intuition that felt like something.

“Ah, no? Why do you think so?”

“Then why did you ask for this favor?”

“It’s like this, the next time I meet your highness by chance at the banquet, I want to end it with something that happened beforehand.” I really didn’t at the time.

I pouted my lower lip and mumbled.” I heard you rewarded me.”

“I mean I gave it to you, why are you so drawn out?”

The Crown Prince looked for his tongue in displeasure. Then thought hard for a long time before losing the battle.

“Eh.”

“Really?” I was delighted.

“It was agreed upon using your highness’s name! Got it?”

“Got it.”

Having gotten a definite answer, the corners of my mouth couldn’t help but show up

Oye! With that, there’s still a few more hurdles to go through!

This is the best news I’ve heard since I came here. After experiencing this hunting convention, I feel sluggish. Even if I try to avoid shiny guys, I can’t completely avoid them when the main story happens.

Unlike the happy me, the crown prince seemed very unpleasant.

“Was it that good?”

“Of course! How nice.”

How can I not be happy when I got a promise not to kill you from you, the most dangerous guy in the world?

I don’t know how, but I have a smile on my face.

Callisto, who was considered a crazy bloodthirsty maniac, eventually lost his smile along with me. The ha-ha laugh was never seen before.

“You’re so… strange,” he muttered, squinting at me.

“Too weird.”

[Favorability 45%]

Your words about me being strange were held back strongly. Either way the good feeling went up.

Surprisingly, Callisto became the second highest favorability male lead after Ikris.

And then I thought, this game is going crazy.

* * *

The final day of the Hunting Convention began. The nobles who had gathered for the selection of the winners and the closing ceremony included the Duke, his two sons, and Winter.

The tents in charge of the assembly were filled with prey from all the houses.

I arrived at the place a little late. It turned out that I didn’t want to come at all. The crown prince, however, had to send his squire to attend, and there was no way around it.

The midday sun was hot. I picked up an umbrella to use me as a shield, and as expected.

“Look! At the Duchess of Eckhardt.”

“Hear that? The Duchess made the nobles …… with a stone bow.”

“A secret meeting with the crown prince really?”

As soon as I appeared, low voices and low voices rose up.

“Yeah. Make as much noise as you can, make as much noise as you can.”

I stayed unconcerned at the end of the awning at the edge of the clearing.

In the back of my mind, I was filled with thoughts of how I must have jumped up and down before I probed the Crown Prince who had sniffed me out.

Looking over, the extras were in disarray.

“Your Royal Highness.”

Not long after, with a huge warning, the Crown Prince walked onto the stage. I secretly covered my face with a parasol so that the guy wouldn’t recognize me right away.

“Did you guys catch a lot of prey?”

The Crown Prince stood above everyone else, lowered his eyes, and arrogantly fired the first salvo. Looking at him through the Yangshan side, I was a bit surprised.

Obviously the color of illness was obvious until yesterday… The crown prince on stage didn’t show such a posture at all.

“This hunting convention also ended successfully.”

If nothing else, I was surprised. Because it was to become the emperor.

Callisto faithfully carried out my promise. A true “Iron Crown Prince”.

“Everyone is working hard. I wonder who will pursue the championship most enthusiastically in this tournament.” Hearing his words, the nobles let out a laugh.

“Alright, let’s release the prey statistics first.”

The Crown Prince nodded from the stage. After the prey statistics were finished, there was a person recording the results of the four days.

The names of the participants and the final number of prey items began to be published out loud.

“My prey is dedicated to Miss Julie!”

“My prey is dedicated to Ms. Natalie ……”

From time to time, there were cries from the field of young and energetic nobles dedicating their prey to their lovers. The squires were busy tallying up the new scores.

Oh, it was more interesting than expected.

Seeing the blushing ladies and the support of the surrounding people who were whistling and cheering together, the atmosphere immediately became heated, and I understood why the “Crown Prince” was joking.

Unlike when I first came here, I watched the championship selection ceremony with energetic eyes.

Of course, the higher the score, I wonder if it’s because of the prize money, many people did not go beyond. Among them was also the Duke, whom the men hadn’t named in a while. Just like the love game, the top rankings seemed to be dominated by the male lead alone.

The years passed, finally.

“The second son of the Eckhardt family, Duke Leonard Eckhardt!”

I also heard the familiar name being written down.

“Two raccoons, three deer, a lion, three roe deer, and five rabbits!”
